THE ONLY RUNNING SHOES RECOMMENDED BY SPORTS MEDICINE.   NIMBUS ARE MY FAVORITE SHOES - THE BEST SHOES MONEY CAN BUY!

ASICS HAS BEEN SUPPORTING ME IN MY RUNS  FOR WORTHY CAUSES LIKE CANTEEN.

 You will not find better stores for all your fishing and camping needs. We much appreciate their support for increasing the safety of our run by supplying Accusat Pocket MT410 GPS enabled EPIRB.

The best way to visit Tasmania. Bring your own car, travel around our beutiful state. This is the only way I travel. In comfort, enjoying every minute of the trip. Have a good sleep, arriving fresh. Or the day crossing available in summer. Whenever you travel you can be sure of a great time with fantastic crew. 

   I am very fortunate to have this company sponsoring me by making a new stainles steel water tank for our campervan. I know that we will have good qulity water in desert areas and no fear of losing any to leaks. I have known the owners for some thirty years and can recommend them higly for any type of metalwork.

They are second to none for quality of their workmanship.

5,768 KM for CanTeen

After completing 5,500 km solo run "Cape to Cape" ( South to Cape York)  in 92 days last year  raising $25,000 for Camp Quality,  68 year old Vlastislav (Vlastik) Skvaril with his wife Josefa are preparing for the next fundraising challenge - "Bay to Bay", Run from Shark Bay of WA - to Byron Bay, starting at Monkey Mia, being the first person ever to run inland from West to East across Australia.

The run will start on the 20^th July 2008 and finish on the 27^th October 2008. - total of 5,768 km in 100 days - average more than 57 km per day, running every day, around 8 hours a day, some 11.600,000 steps!

During the journey Jo and Vlastik will celebrate their 47^th Anniversary of their wedding, as well as Vlastik's  69^th birthday!

The challenge cannot be underestimated. The route will take them through the most remote areas of the country, in some parts hundreds of kilometers of outback without fuel and water. The planning is in full progress to ensure a success of the journey. Nothing can be overlooked.

All the donations collected during the fundraising run will go to

CanTeen's vision is to bring together all young people living with cancer.

The Mission is to support, develop and empower young people living with cancer. More can be found on their website http://www.canteen.org.au/

Online donations can be made to CanTeen through Vlastik's Everyday Hero Page-  www.everydayhero.com.au/Vlastislav_Skvaril

From the past experience there is no doubt, that this run will attract the attention of all media including TV, radio and newspapers

            There is no doubt that Vlastik with Jo's support will succeed in completing the journey and that there will be a huge public support for the charity.

You can contact Vlastik on 0419 399 605 or 0438 330 652 (next G).
